Hired the Caterer

This was, by far, the most challenging part so far.

Our venue is 95% DIY - they offer the space and the bar service so everything else must be brought in. That means, tables and chairs, and plates, and glasses, and and and.

A friend is getting married in April and recommended their caterer and we ultimately hired them! Our contact was the friendly and super patient while I asked her a ton of questions. Some others didn't really hide their annoyance!

It's really true - you catch more flies with honey! I probably would have still hired them even if there prices had been a little higher because she was so awesome during this part!

Just thought I'd share - this was the last BIG thing (and by far the biggest chunk of our budget).

Happy Planning!

    Thanks ladies - what I loved about this caterer; we essentially agreed to a preliminary budget but we don't have to finalize the menu for a while (about 30 days out). That way, if I can save money in other areas then I can increase it for the food but she told me that no matter what the budget, we'll love our food! That meant a lot (vs the caterers that wanted us to nearly finalize it during the proposal phase!).

    We’re in the same boat! EVERYTHING has to be brought in and it’s EXPENSIVE. We’ve talked to caterers but haven’t hired anyone yet! I’m getting a little anxious about it.
